Episode 26: August 1988

Welcome to the twenty-sixth episode of From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast!  This podcast has a simple premise; examine just about every Superman comic published between Man of Steel #1 in 1986 to Adventures of Superman #649 in 2006 in an informative and hopefully entertaining format.

Part index.  Part commentary.  Part history lesson.  All podcast.

It is a packed episode this week as Jeffrey and Mike talk about four different comics featuring the Post-Crisis Superman that took place on or around the cover date of August 1988.  First up is Superman #20, which crosses over in the most bizarre fashion with Doom Patrol #10.  This crossover actually takes place between two panels of Superman #20, so that was kind of weird.  After covering those books the boys take on Adventures of Superman #443, which Jeffrey liked a lot more than he thought he would and Michael didn’t really like it at all.  Finally, Superman Annual #2 came out this month and much love is given to that story.

All of this and Michael’s snoring dog too.  This episode has everything.

Episode 21: April 1988

Welcome to the twenty-first episode of From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast! This podcast has a simple premise; examine just about every Superman comic published between Man of Steel #1 in 1986 to Adventures of Superman #649 in 2006 in an informative and hopefully entertaining format.

Part index. Part commentary. Part history lesson. All podcast.

This week Michael interrupts Jeffrey a lot as they discuss the Superman books that came out during the cover date of April 1988. They spend the bulk of the episode discussing Superman #16 with a good number of tangents thrown in for good measure. In addition to talking about the first From Crisis to Crisis appearance of the Prankster they also delve into Adventures of Superman #439 and Action Comics #599. Michael didn’t mean to interrupt Jeffrey at the beginning. He was just really, really excited about recording this episode.

At least that’s what Michael tells himself.

FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY

I didn’t write a post today. I did produce a page for this blog that you can find on your right under the Fortress of Baileytude Pages section.

A few years back I found this site that listed every crossover to all of the major event books of both Marvel and DC. I copied the info, edited it in a Word document and SHAZAM I had an instant piece of reference. So I thought I would take that out, dust it off and put the DC books here.[1. The reason I didn’t post the Marvel crossovers is that they have disappeared.  Apparently that file didn’t get transferred.  Oh well.  Like goes on.]

Seemed like a good idea to me.

Here’s a direct link to the page in case you were curious.

At some point I’ll put the info about Identity Crisis and Infinite Crisis and eventually Amazons Attack and Final Crisis, though the last two will actually seem like work.  Especially Amazons Attack, which was awful.

For now, here are the big DC events and the books associated with them.

Enjoy.
